Abraam was old, advanced in days, and the Lord blessed Abraam in all
things. 2 And Abraam said to his servant the elder of his house, who
had rule over all his possessions, Put thy hand under my thigh, 3 and
I will adjure thee by the Lord the God of heaven, and the God of the
earth, that thou take not a wife for my son Isaac from the daughters
of the Chananites, with whom I dwell, in the midst of them. 4 But thou
shalt go instead to my country, where I was born, and to my tribe, and
thou shalt take from thence a wife for my son Isaac. 5 And the servant
said to him, Shall I carry back thy son to the land whence thou camest
forth, if haply the woman should not be willing to return with me to
this land? 6 And Abraam said to him, Take heed to thyself that thou
carry not my son back thither. 7 The Lord the God of heaven, and the
God of the earth, who took me out of my father's house, and out of the
land whence I sprang, who spoke to me, and who swore to me, saying, I
will give this land to thee and to thy seed, he shall send his angel
before thee, an thou shalt take a wife to my son from thence. 8 And if
the woman should not be willing to come with thee into this land, thou
shalt be clear from my oath, only carry not my son thither again.
